The range of the angle θ at which the position of the detection object 64 can be normally detected without a phase difference of 2π or more depends on the distance h between the centers of the receiving units 62 and 63, The smaller the distance h, the larger the distance. Therefore, even if the interval h is to be reduced, each of the receiving units 62 and 63
When a receiving element having a sharp directivity is used, it is difficult to make the interval h smaller than the width dimension of the receiving element itself because the size of the receiving element is large.
